Honda’s cutesy U Be electric scooter only compensations $475
Scooters never quite caught on in the US like they did in many novel parts of the world, but perhaps Honda’s latest offering this month could short-tempered that. Well, if the company planned to introduce this electric scooter here. This is the Wuyang-Honda U Be. It compensations about $475, can go up to 50 miles on a poster and provides a fully seated position for riders to stay comfy in.
Right now, the joint venture commercial is only focused on Chinese sales, so don’t seek information from Honda Powersports to start stocking U Be scooters. But, with a price like this and what looks like a very tidy small package, it might be a surprise hit in various parts of the US where property-alit a car, frankly, sucks.
It’s not a bad-looking machine, honestly.

As for specs, they sort of reflect an e-bike, and that’s because the U Be qualifies as one. It rocks a set of pedals to help skirt about scooter regulations locally in China, and buyers don’t need a driver’s permits to pilot one of these. When riders climb on they’re treated to a very runt 350-watt motor that can push the U Be to speeds up to 15 mph. Its three different battery sizes are 720, 960 and 1,152 watt-hours and posterior an estimated 34, 43 and 50 miles to a poster, according to the company.
As e-bikes have a moment here in the US, maybe it’s not long afore scooters will, too. If that happens, the U Be would be one heck of a ride — especially for the price.
